Clone Cop (Tenzing Q&A)

[Tenzing]

NG-1010 reporting in!

Any questions fire away. I really struggled at the start due to a bunch of RL difficulties but really glad I stuck with it and eventually found my groove around D4/D5.

Thanks to all I interacted with, and those I didn't, for making a really vivid bunch of characters and scenes. Special thanks to our GMs for lots of cool plot lines and encounters.

[Raven Cadera]

CLONE COOOOOP!

Thanks for the great chemistry between Raven and Tenzing. Mando Mom and Clone Dad energy. Both actually fairly young, but acting like they're much older than they really are.

Really happy to see a clone appear as a PC in one of these games too.

I didn't catch it IC, but what made Tens become a local law enforcer after the war?
Did he take part in Order 66?

[Sholua Tempes]

Did he take part in Order 66?

I already know the answer . . . . but >_> . . . . .

[J-Richo Toboga]

It is a shame we never got to cross paths!

Some of my best friends are clones!

[Varina Ordo]

Ah I wish we'd have crossed paths! I was pre bad at branching out this game. Would have been fun to ask him to look for mom...

Looks like you got to do clone! Or am I confusing you with Hussar? Got to use those sick Clone trees?

The young-but-acting-older vibe was something I've wanted to do for a while based on watching interactions between University students over the years

It was fun playing a Clone!

Tens went into local law enforcement as his way of helping to repair what he saw as the damage done by the Republic during the war. He was one of those Clones whose biochip did not function, so he did not take part in Order 66 and watching his battle brothers suddenly change really shook him up.

Next time gadget!

Thanks for the Party thread and the awesome teamwork in Retribution

Me too! Hopefully next time

Hussar is also keen to Clone it up, but yes it was great. Tens is picking up a Clone Soldier Spec with end game xp. I went with Marshal + Retired Clone Trooper.

Oh Retired Clone Trooper is so nice... I wish I could take some of those talents without the backstory part! But that's somewhat amusing, going from retired to, well, not-so-retired haha.

[Soleene Stryss]

Just realized this would make Tenzing kind of close to Deckard in concept!

Met the clone cop far too late and it seemed like I missed a lot. Is he heading into retirement now or retirement is just a horizon he's chasing?

[Tenzing]

I think Deckard is where my love of noir comes from. Blade Runner is my favourite movie, although I wasn't thinking of that when I made the character

Tens was forced into retirement, this is his redemption arc.

[Varina Ordo]

Ooo Blade Runner. Makes me want to rewatch that now...

[Dhelih Dotaivi]

Always fun watching your characters. And I was glad to have a wee bit of thread with that 'locals who know one another without much discussion about the fact' vibe. There was so much solid heft to the concept and how you inhabited the character. (and I was pretty much constantly in stitches watching him dad-Clone at Korvin)

Reprises, and Dhel leaving Bellionas means she might ask more advice on hunting for her brother someday.

Did anything really surprise you about the character, once you started playing him?

[Meiyokashi]

Thanks for bringing Tenzing to the game! I really enjoyed him a lot and the Noir vibes were super cool

Also, troopers are just neat and the ARC Trooper vibes with his choice of weapons is also just my favorite. Always a pleasure to have you around as well!!

Tens will be very happy to help Dhel look for her brother Yeah, I liked the locals who know each other vibe. Comfortable conversation without needing to pry into backstories is fun, and I'm glad you liked my "That Dhel?" comment

"Did anything really surprise me about the character once I started playing him?" That is a brilliant question Yes, he leaned more into the 'good cop' angle than I'd anticipated. But the stuff with Saph (and Maggie) surprised me. Taking the job despite knowing what it meant, although I'm still not sure how that will end. There are definitely some darker aspects I'd like to explore next time around.
